I have ordered a three stone emerald shape silver setting from Liebcor that will be a right hand ring (and stand-in engagement ring during next pregnancy)and I'm trying to decide on who to get my CZs from. The setting was only $24 and I'm trying to save as much money as possible so I'm leaning towards Chris UK, but I haven't been able to find any pictures on the boards comparing the two. Do any of you lovely ladies have any comparison shots? Or know where I can find some?

Believe it or not, our radiants are really affordable. Have you looked at the pricing on them? I don't know what kind of faceting the ChrisUK stones have, but the WinkCZ radiants are properly faceted with the scissors cuts, and we can customize the cut as well, for those who like a chubby cut. smile

sorry, i've never seen a WinkCZ radiant.

and i'm not really a fan of radiants in general.. but the ChrisCZ ones i've seen i thought were really, really pretty. especially the Square Modern Radiant. i know i've posted pictures of the radiants i've gotten in his thread.

I've never seen a Chris CZ, but I can sure voucher for Wink's radiants. The cut is stunning. Looks very real.

I can vouch for Wink's Radiant also. The two most realistic and beautiful CZs I've seen are the Asha Krupp and Wink's Radiant IMO.
I bought a Wink 8.5 x 6.5 Radiant basically b/c I wanted to see the size. I wasn't really a fan of Radiants until I saw Wink's Radiant in person and I was happily surprised when I got it b/c it is stunning. It converted me to a Radiant fan.

By any chance have any of you seen one of our more square radiants? We recently custom cut a radiant to replace a client's diamond, and the results are just gorgeous:

The stone measures 9.7 x 8.76mm, and was not heat enhanced.

I really like ChrisCZ's radiants. I think I have pics at home, will post them if I do.

I haven't seen Wink's radiant so can't comment.
